Before configuring “Google Sheets” action nodes, you will need to have at least one Google Sheets integrations connected in your company. You can refer to this Help Center article to learn more about Google Sheets integrations.
The “Search Google Sheet row” action node searches for and retrieves the matching rows in the selected Google Sheet based on the specified search conditions. This action is often used together with the “Update Google Sheet row” action node, allowing you to dynamically locate a specific row and update its details seamlessly within your workflow.
To set up the node, follow these steps:
- Click on the “Search Google Sheet rows” action node to open up its form, which will appear on the right side of the screen
- The node form contains the following fields for you to configure your action:
